Lahabrea: The presence I felt when I encountered Hephaistos bore little resemblance to the entity I created. Themis: I take it, then, that you have no intent to seal him away as before. There is no need to dirty your hands with such a deed. ![]() Lahabrea: However, I wish to deal the final blow to Hephaistos myself. My ability to fight within Tartaros would be greatly diminished in any case. Themis: Lahabrea, I would ask that you assume the duty of summoning 's phantom warriors. I must focus my every effort on securing a safe means of approach. Themis: We can assume that Hephaistos will offer fierce resistance. Lahabrea: There is but one place left for him to find refuge: the black heart of Tartaros, where Athena built her testing compound. Themis: I can, at least, assure you that finding him shall prove relatively simple now that Hephaistos can no longer bend Pandæmonium to his will. As for the rest of your story, we shall hear it after we have returned Erichthonios to safety, in accordance with Agdistis's last wish. ![]() Themis: That knowledge alone is sufficient to direct our next course of action. Lahabrea: I know not what his ultimate end is, but 'tis plain it is connected with the resurrection of Athena. Hephaistos has taken up Athena's research, and succeeded in creating hemitheoi. Lahabrea: Unfortunately, it seems not even her death has ensured his safety. I cannot say with certainty that Erichthonios could handle the weight of such betrayal, after holding his mother on a pedestal for so long. Themis: I see now why you hid the truth from him. Lahabrea: She did not offer him a position here out of a sense of love or pride─'twas merely because she knew he would be the most pliable test subject. Athena was consumed by her research, and was willing to sacrifice her own child if it hastened her progress. Lahabrea: The vision you saw told the story far more eloquently than I ever could. With the immediate threat vanquished, there are questions that demand answers, and truths that demand to be told. You take a moment to check in with Lahabrea, who is impressed that his son was able to work the magic of interment so adeptly, and even verbalizes the sentiment.He inters Hephaistos in an aetherial casket, around which Lahabrea works his own magicks until all that remains is a fiery red crystal. A few well-placed words stir Erichthonios from his stupor, and gathering what strength he can, the keyward breaks free from the magic binding him. As Lahabrea is about to deal the killing blow, Hephaistos shields himself with the insensate Erichthonios, prompting Lahabrea to at last reveal the truth of Athena's intentions before his son.At your heels, Lahabrea stands ready to at last set right the mistake of his past. In the end, however, even the purloined power of Pandæmonium's prisoners is no match for your own, and the would-be god falls to you and your phantom band. In the heart of Tartaros, you find yourself embroiled in a frenetic battle that sees Hephaistos taking form after form, stretching the very boundaries of creation magicks.※Abyssos: The Eighth Circle can be accessed via the Duty Finder. ![]() Themis makes ready to send you and the chief keyward to confront Hephaistos, that you might rid the world of his wickedness once and for all. Lahabrea senses that his other half is cloistered away within the depths of Tartaros, where Athena carried out her most clandestine research. With Pandæmonium free from Hephaistos's control, the way forward is clear of obstacles.Lahabrea would speak further of Athena's fate.
